HMJDS is the Twin Cities' K-8 independent school of choice for families who want academic excellence in a nurturing Jewish environment.

We are committed to academic excellence and the pursuit of learning as a life-long venture. Our school practices respect for the diversity of Jewish life, and we challenge our students to study and embrace Jewish values and American democratic principles. HMJDS graduates are recognized as successful learners and leaders committed to the Jewish community and the global society throughout their lives.

Driven by Core Jewish Values

HMJDS is guided by ten core values which are omnipresent throughout the school building and the curriculum. The core values come to life as students study one each month through creative and age-appropriate learning activities.
